mr. cardin: thank you. i have never supported sequestration. i always thought that was a big mistake. these are across-the-board mindless cuts that says every priority in government is identical to the other. that's not the case. if you had a problem with your family budget and you had to reduce some spending and you had money put aside for your mortgage payment, your rent payment or your family food budget and maybe some money for a weekend trip, you wouldn't cut every category identical. you may give up that weekend trip in order to save the roof over your family's home or pute putt food on table. sequestration says every priority in government is the same. it's also not directed to where we really need to do to reduce the deficit. once again sequestration applies to discretionary spending primarily, it provides a fourth round of cuts, we've already had cuts over the last three years and for the agencies that are affected, it's equivalent to about a 10% cut. you can't do that without seriously affecting the mission of the agencies. and that i
